GMC C1500 Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder

Great cars and trucks like your C1500 need great parts.

When your GMC C1500 left the factory, it was destined for a driver who wants trusted quality in their automobile. Obviously, you bought your C1500 because you knew that you wanted horsepower and great value both rolled up into one vehicle. Your GMC dealership isn't the only place to find the best repair parts to fix your C1500. Anyone who operates a GMC knows that when it comes to repairing their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do.

The first applications of the use of hydraulic pressure were in mining and supplying water across great distances. But it wasn't until a few decades after the first cars were produced that the drum brake wheel cylinders, like the ones found on your GMC C1500, were invented. GMC C1500 drum brake wheel cylinders act like slave cylinders do. They spread apart the brake shoes when the master cylinder transfers hydraulic pressure to each wheel. As the wheel cylinders push the shoes outward against the drums, your vehicle slows down.
